Thick Darkness Covers The Land Of Egypt
Reports from the Nile Delta indicate that a terrifying, palpable darkness has fallen over the entire land of Egypt. For three days, the sun has vanished, leaving the Egyptians unable to see one another or leave their dwellings. Yet, miraculously, all the sons of Israel have light in their dwellings in the land of Goshen. This ninth plague is a direct assault on the Egyptian sun god, signaling that Yahweh's final judgment is imminent.
"Then Yahweh said to Moses, 'Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt.'"
— Exodus 10:21
— Exodus 10:21
Timeline Box:
The plague of darkness occurred immediately prior to the tenth plague (the death of the firstborn), placing it in the late winter weeks leading up to the first Passover in Nisan.
